Legendary DJ, Grandmaster Flash, received an Honorary Doctorate of Music while addressing the class of 2023 at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York earlier today (6/1).
Flash, who received an Honorary Doctorate of the Fine Arts from Buffalo State College last year, posted a video to his Instagram account where he spoke about the honor.
"Today is gonna be a wonderful day," he said. "I get a chance to talk to the young people today on the history of Hip-Hop and my contribution to the culture. I get to do the commencement speech and well wish all of the graduates, and I'm also receiving my second doctorate for the Science of Hip-Hop."
